Everything We Know About Silent Hill 2 Remake
Silent Hill 2 Remake Story Plot
Silent Hill 2 Remake will be a retelling of the original Silent Hill 2, where the plot will revolve around James Sunderland. One day, he received a letter from his dead wife, Mary, telling him that she was waiting for him at their secret place at Silent Hill. James, curious and still in grief over his wife’s passing, ventures into the town only to find it overrun with horrible monsters.
Along the way, he’ll meet Maria, who bears the same exact face as his dearly departed Mary. James takes it upon himself to investigate the bizarre happenings in Silent Hill, as well as to protect Maria.
Silent Hill 2 Remake Gameplay
The original Silent Hill 2 was a puzzle game with survivor horror elements, and the remake will iterate over these genres further. The combat reveal trailer shows more action-oriented gameplay compared to the original, almost bearing similarities to classic Resident Evil’s gameplay. James will have access to various melee weapons such as a wooden board or an iron pipe, and will be able to perform quick-time-events (QTE) that were not in the original.
James will also eventually find firearms such as a pistol and shotgun to better survive against the monstrosities that lurk within Silent Hill.
